Hi!

Is it worth to raise here? I am not sure whether I can represent sets, perhaps a 77. I dont wanna call here. May be villain folded his overcards.

EDIT: SB is squeezing a lot in small sample. Anyway he seems a pre-aggro regular with 21/17.

Thanks for the comments!

CO: $5 (100 bb)

Preflop: Hero is BTN with T T
UTG folds, MP raises to $0.15, CO folds, Hero calls $0.15, SB raises to $0.70, 2 folds, Hero calls $0.55

I do not like the raise that much. It is true that you will make fold some hands with equity but you will bulb the pot and will get called by stronger hands.

Why do you not want to call? I don't like the raise as you would be folding to a shove. Also I don't like the size of the raise.

OK but would I got more value so the question is whether he shoots another barrel if I just float OTF. If I go to SD and no more value is extracted wouldnt it worth to raise the flop and pick up the pot there without allowing him to hit the overcards?

Let me have another question:
What do you think is this flop hits my range? From villains point of view what would be my perceived range?

Anyway, thanks for all of the posts! ;)

With the flop raise you wil face only hands that beat you.
You have a hand for small pot, not for big one.

Call flop, call suitable turns and see river.

I don't like that flop raise so much either. I would call it and maybe call turn too and then decide OTR.

So let assume we float the flop. And what about a turn raise to another shoot from villain if turn card is non-club and not A,K,Q,J?

Because I think it was quite likely he shoots a second barrell OTT.

Anyway I think he had pure draw. A pair+fd I think doesnt play that way.

I don't like raising. JJ-AA are definitely in villains range and we are way ahead / way behind, hence we should play this passively. Why do you think he was on a draw?

I think there are a ton of stronger Ax suited in his range(and in my squeezing range too BTW).
Let me have a question. If you are villain, what range do you give me I raise with in these spot?

Villain has high Ax hands in his range and he definitely has JJ+ too. He might have some bluff squeezes but maybe not too often.
Your range looks actually very weak. You just call MP's open and then you call a squeeze. You have 77 and higher over pairs in your range but you have some suited connectors too like KQs,JTs,QJs. 44 and 22 are a bit too low to call here.

So overall I think you have more draws in your range than he does.

You said that you got it but it appears that you don't...
No raise with your hand. You have a hand that can lose a big pot and win a small one. There are a lot better hands that beat you and by raising you will face just them.

1. JJ-AA are 24 combos. AcKc, AcQc, KcQc, AcJc, KcJc, QcJc, AcTc, KcTc, QcTc, JcTc, Tc9c, 9c8c arejust 12 combos. Which is more?
2. If I was villain I would put you on small overpair - 88-JJ and FD.

Hi!

Thanks for the helpful effort giveing me useful advices! ;)

Conceptions you mentioned were in my mind, but protection or whatever won over thin value and small ball.

It is an error of mine, turning into bluff some showdown values.

Have to work with this issue.
